Looking for a new challenge after his departure from Juventus and his suspension for doping, the 2018 world champion spoke on different subjects.
Paul Pogba is preparing, in silence and with the desire to bounce back as quickly as possible. It must be said that the 31-year-old midfielder has no time to waste. Suspended four years for doping, after testing positive for testosterone in August 2023, the 2018 world champion saw his sanction reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) last October. After his departure from Juventus Turin, who did not wish to keep him, Pogba can play football again next March. The time has therefore come to choose a new club for the Frenchman.
In an exchange during a Twitch live, the former Manchester United player spoke about his future. He admits that he has no shortage of proposals, but knows he is facing a big dilemma. Find the club that will ultimately allow him to rejoin the French team. Pogba has made no secret of it, he wants to play in the 2026 World Cup with the Blues. The road is long, the competition is enormous for his position, but his ambition is there.

-A return to Blue will also depend on his choice of club
Paul Pogba is no longer in a strong position to demand immense remuneration, far from the splendor of Manchester or Turin, even less a starting place, as doubts remain about his level. Despite everything, if he wants to find the Blues, “the pickaxe” has an interest in choosing an ambitious club that plays leading roles in a major championship.
“A club that plays in the Champions League? Why not, he explains, aware of not being the master of the game. If it comes, of course, why not. We always want to be in the best clubs. Afterwards it doesn’t depend on me, it depends on many other things.” Becoming a football player again is already THE priority.
